  1. Apparently the demands on Canada were posted today, Become 51st state. Doesn’t seem reasonable.
  2. Wow lots of great information but none of the common sense conclusions proposed in the press conferences.
  3. You mean I didn't have to be nervous about getting it from a chick it back in the 80s-90s. Fuck.
  4. Lol, FAFO Karen
  5. Need to rule out drones
  6. Good update but you meant above freezing. I would think the pressure zones around the wings would also have an impact so not just ambient temps. I'm still waiting to see if they rule out a drone.
  7. My SIL teaches at the school they went to. She is heartbroken.
  8. It caught on fire in mid air then crashed? Someone with common sense will tell us definitively what it was but maybe a drone? Doesn't look like a Boeing plane.
  9. The key part that is left out here is when you have a mix of domestic (non-taxed) and foreign (taxed) suppliers that the demand goes up on the domestic sourced goods. This puts upward price pressure on the domestic goods without the tax revenue increase. The domestic goods are going to find an equilibrium price with the imports. So your American made tires, California Avocados, US Timber are all going to go up too because those manufacturers will not be able to meet the market supply demands. Add on top of that the tariff goes into the baseline price and then you have sales tax on top of it so you end up with 25% increase in price with another 2% sales tax (.25*.08) your 25% tarrif is really a 27% increase in consumer price.
  10. Did this back in December.
  11. Making a condition proving a negative or absence of something is often a sign of a lack of critical thinking skills. Prove to me no-one has hacked your computer system. Prove to me you didn’t intentionally put listeria in the Bluebell. Prove to me that his actions are not out of ignorance but malice.
  12. My bet is that putting a 100% tariff on a group of countries is the incentive for them to create their own currency to replace the Dollar.
  13. The answer would sound something like this.
  14. It's like the business on "The Wire". They can sell to the reliable buyers that have cash and pay up front. We're turning into the Bubbles of the world where we may try to trade you a scrap radiator for your product.
  15. Just in time for the Super Bowl
  16. Just bought a set of new tires, was planning on it but placed the order 5 minutes ago. Going grocery shopping later if HEB is open.
  17. My Free Cams Danger Girl. Bolverk had many adventures with her. My favorites were the New Orleans trips.
  18. Like his use of pardons
  19. In year 4 was way too late
  20. I can write the risk report Fat orange man may call you out for a boycott by his cult.
  21. too many clicks I haven't used it until recently. I thought it would be easy to find by clicking on the user profile. It was not.
  22. Yeah, no. I watched it and this came to mind
  23. Elon will sign up for the gas contract.
